OK, so we got Guzman's but boil (lower extremities? I thought that was ... lower than the buttocks area) and Buerhle trade rumors.

I'm starting to wonder who's going to want him, the way he's pitched the last couple of years.

Uhh, he threw a no-hitter this year, he's got a 3.39 ERA and a WHIP barely above 1.00 and he's striking out far more batters this year than last.

He was awful last year, no doubt about that, but he's "playoff-tested," only 28 and seems to be the type of guy you'd like to have around the clubhouse. Would I sign him for five years and nearly $100 mil? No. He's a very good pitcher, but not someone I'd build around as an ace. But in this market, someone will, and I bet he looks like a better deal in three years than Zito.

In case I haven't said it lately, I have finally joined most of you in saying the Yankees are dead. That's D-E-A-D. You can't lose two of three to the God-awful Giants and expect to be a wild card. The season is now over. And if I'm wrong, I'll eat this computer.

Preserved ...

Oh, and for clarity, would the Yankees earning a wild card qualify as making you wrong? I just want it on record.
